On Wednesday, March 8th, we had a live conversation with a panel of talented women who shared their personal journey of overcoming barriers, how they've seen the industry change, and what leadership opportunities look like for women in construction today.
If you missed this one, you missed a good one so here's a link to the webinar recording. Below you'll find a sampling of some of the great advice that was shared during this webcast. Be sure to listen to the recording to hear more amazing tips! And here is just one comment we received from an attendee:
I would like to sincerely thank all the wonderful and intelligent women that took their time and knowledge to present today, it was a very good learning experience, expanding my perspective. Thank you!

Here are a few examples of great advice that was shared during the webinar by the panelists:
How do I appear more confident during meetings? Start small, making comments and asking questions that show them you're engaged. Don't take notes or offer to the notetaker!:rofl:
For women just entering the construction workforce, be sure to show them a career path, starting at the interview. We need to dispel the notion that women work because they want to get out of the house or provide extra income. Women want careers and we need to show them the way!
Be a helpful person/team player but don't let others put work on you just because they think you're an "office worker". If they come to you needing help but what they really want is for you to do the task for them, DON'T. Give them instructions but let them do it for themselves.
